Grounding Points for the ECU
CAUTION: Each ECU requires two independent ground straps
mounted to the airframe with at least four inches separation
between airframe mounting points. Choose airframe grounding
points that will allow the shortest possible strap length.
5.
Measure the electrical resistance between each ECU housing and the aircraft
electrical ground bus. The resistance must be less than 0.5 ohms. If the resistance is
more than 0.5 ohms:
a.
Clean the mating surfaces and re-measure the resistance.
b.
If resistance is still greater than 0.5 ohms, find an alternate mounting location for
the ground strap.
6.
Install the ground strap according to the instructions in section 10-11.2, Ground Strap
Installation.
7.
Install the High Voltage Harness according to instructions in section 9-4.2, Ignition
Harness Installation.
8.
For proper operation of the engine, route, clamp, support, and protect the wires in the
engine low voltage harness in a manner to prevent chafing, fretting, and wear of the
lead wires. Route and secure the harness IAW Appendix C, “Harness Routing.”
9.
Perform a “FADEC Level I Diagnostics” in Chapter 8, Troubleshooting.
